HomeAway is the world leader in vacation rentals. We offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find a perfect vacation rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.

A privileged beachfront location is complemented by an extreme attention to detail. Like the photos? The real thing is even better! Seriously, we hear that exact sentiment regularly from guests.

Situated a mere 21 feet from our property seawall, the unit feels a bit like being on a boat, with the water in your face virtually everywhere you turn. Unit highlights: vaulted ceilings, oversized lanai, ultra-comfy king bed, Jacuzzi tub and a fully-stocked kitchen.

Outside, when you're not enjoying the array of ocean gear on offer or exploring the beach that stretches nearly a mile in each direction, you'll be pampered with a thatch-roofed tiki bar, big hot tub, BBQ, chaise lounges, and various settee areas.

Note that this is the Top Unit of a two-unit (the owners live in a third unit in the back) split-level property. Virtually everything outside is considered common-use. See Property ID 168823ha for info about the larger Bottom Unit. Or see Property ID 193330ha for info about renting both units together.

We initially rented this entire house back in April 2017 and had such a blast. My husband and I knew we just HAD to come back for our upcoming 10th wedding anniversary. This time around we rented the top unit and once again there were no disappointments. We watched sea turtles bobbing in the surf outside the back door, and the resident Hawaiian Monk Seals basking just about 100 yards from the rental on the pristine strip of beach.

The unit had all the basic essentials. We were never short on towels, kitchen ware, bedding or other. It was cozy and clean, exactly how we like.

Pro tip: this is Hawaii, and while it’s year round temperate climate is ideal, remember it means bugs can be and are always around and looking for opportunities! Especially if you are leaving doors and windows open to tempt that ocean breeze in!

We didn’t encounter anything more than a couple ants when we failed to wipe down the kitchen counter one evening, but as I’ve noticed others have commented, I wanted to point out that a random bug here or there is pretty normal in Hawaii. My sister used to live with centipedes and geckos on a daily basis. Keep your eating areas VERY clean and you won’t deal with this issue.

This rental is pristine and the owners take great care of it. Their aloha spirit can be felt in each room!

Thank you again for the amazing time we had!!

Great little beach house. The outdoor area is perfect. Got a little warm with only air in the master bedroom and I wish I had had a dishwasher but really enjoyed our stay. Loved the hot tub. Drank my coffee at the little outdoor sitting area down stairs most days. Lots of toys to play with in the ocean. Enjoyed both sets of neighbors we had. Try Kix barbque across the street. Great food, great price and you get a lot of food! Sweet people and so convenient! Lots of choices. If I ever come back to Oahu I will rent this house again.

Wish I could give this place 4.5 stars rather than 4. We had a nice time staying at this house. The pros are obviously the view and proximity on the beach. We also liked having the air conditioner in the bedroom and all of the fun toys outside. There is a monk seal (and later, a second one came!) that lives on this beach just a few houses down, so that was an awesome thing to see everyday. Also cool were the tide pools just past the monk seal. Our kids loved those! It's a really beautiful beach. The cons for us were a very minimally stocked kitchen, flies coming in through a torn screen, and we saw 2 cockroaches (one small one sitting next to me on the couch one night and a large one on the deck, also at night). The other thing to consider is lack of privacy due to rental unit downstairs. But for us, that didn't matter too much because our kids enjoyed playing with the other kids downstairs. Overall, it was a great stay!

We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. We stayed in the top unit. It was a great size for the two of us. Private deck, huge patio right on a soft sandy beach. We saw whales and sea turtles. Grocery store, drug store and Polynesia Cultural Center just minutes away. The unit had everything we need, including guide book, games and movies. We liked that the upper unit was behind a locked gate. We would love to stay there again. The only down side was the washer and dryer. The salty air had taken its toll on the washer and someone had dried the bathroom rugs in the dryer leaving it full of the rubber backing. But the weather was warm and the clothes dryed fast on the drying rack. Overall it was a great price for a semi private, clean house right on the beach. Thanks for the wonderful memories!!! We would recommend it.

This property was a little small for four adults as far as sleeping quarters (2nd couple stayed on the hideaway queen that has seen better days), but be honest- you didn't look at this property because of amazing bedroom accommodations! The kitchen and living area suited our trip well. We made several meals and were pleased with a well equipped grill. Living room was a nice refuge from some rainy weather during our stay.

But the access to your very own beach right outside your door was the best part of our whole trip. We drove to many of the famous beaches of Oahu but none had sand as soft as ours. The surf was so close; lulled you to sleep every night.

Furnishings felt a little dated but I understand that is pretty typical of the "island lifestyle". Still, this apartment had everything we were looking for and we will definitely consider this property again the next time we come to the island.

Perfect Oasis

We just loved staying here! It felt so private and serene, even though there was a family downstairs and neighbors. It felt like we had the beach to ourselves! Beachy theme inside, updated bathroom, and plenty of space for the two of us! The patio and beach area was so lovely! I loved that I could grab one of their beach chairs and just take steps to the beach! The hot tub and beer fridge was a nice touch too! It was nice coming back from a day of outings to relax in the warm tub with a cocktail! Quiet town and a short drive to many activities! Would love to stay here again! What a great honeymoon spot!

Map

Hauula, HI, USA

Hau'ula and the surrounding area is often likened to 'old Hawaii,' still representing what Hawaii once was. Instead of large malls and chain restaurants (i.e. Waikiki), the area has family-owned gift shops, unique little restaurants, and a pace of life that many envision when planning their Hawaii trips. Highlights of the area: (1) five minute drive to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Hawaii's #1 tourist attraction (2) many great hikes (some with waterfalls) in the mountains seen in our aerial pictures (3) lush green foliage and mountainsides, drawing comparisons with Maui (4) good, local people offering a glimpse into 'true' Hawaii living: a truly authentic Hawaiian experience (5) twelve minute drive to Turtle Bay Resort, and their golf courses, restaurants, bars, massages, helicopter rides, etc. (6) minutes to good surfing spots, and only about 20 minutes to famous big-wave spots like Pipeline and Sunset Beach (7) quiet, tranquil, peaceful...the best way to describe Hau'ula!
